Yeah people aren't reporting, or as I mentioned in another thread, in cases like mine where we didn't test positive until the night we got home, we aren't in those numbers. So those two groups together could raise numbers a bit. So even if the cruise line was releasing their numbers, they wouldn't be accurate.

I can guarantee you there were plenty of people on my Quantum sailing the week of June 20th who had covid (judging by the coughing) and weren't reporting it. A lot of it is on the honor system. We didn't test positive until the night we got home, which means we were probably passing it around the ship without knowing it. I tested negative a couple days before when I had a scratchy throat. There is no clear answer for you. People who say #'s on ships are low, no...reported #'s are low. Again, I was negative on day 5 and then flew home and tested on which was day 7 and was positive. So I had it on the ship but am not included in their numbers and neither are any people who ignored their symptoms. Cases everywhere seem to be going up everywhere. So enjoy the trip and try to relax and take the precautions you feel comfortable with. I agree with taking some at-home tests with you and then make your decision. Had I tested positive on the ship at the time, I probably would have said something but looking back now and hearing some of the horror stories of people dealing with quarantine and getting off the ship, I'm not sure. To be fair, some people had great experiences too but I always expect the worst. All these rules that cruise lines put in, won't do much if everyone isn't following them. So if you get it and feel like following the rules, just remember there will be plenty of people who won't be.

People won't though. Especially when it comes to a vacation they are gonna go out because they spent the money. Was on Quantum the week of June 20th and we tested positive the night we got home. I can assure you there were plenty of people on that ship with covid and were going around anyways. The coughs sounded just like the cough I ended up with. If they drop the pre-cruise testing, we will probably still test beforehand and if we test positive, cancel. This is also true though.

Yep, I did it twice for my cruise that leaves in 11 days. Dropped on Cyber Monday and I saved like $500 total and then it dropped again about a month again, after final payment, and I got the difference in onboard credit. Now, assuming no one tests positive before we leave, we have $345 to spend onboard.

Yeah I just got an email for a sale and my cruise leaves in 11 days and it's virtually the same as Memorial Day Weekend. The best deals I saw was Thanksgiving Weekend/Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

Thanks.

How many of you got tested? The appoint blocks are every 15 minutes. Did you actually have to show up at each appointment time or if you schedule back to back slots can you just show up at the first time slot for everyone?

Was coming here for this. Make up your mind Walgreens! lol Mine is 6 days out, not 7. I just want o know I'm set but I did buy 3 emed tests to cover my butt.

Here in MI same thing. Only a few days out. I'm tempted to order the emed tests just to be safe. It's a little worrisome. I understand they are just changing it to a shorter window but....if traveling wasn't already stressful.

They said the earliest flight that their shuttle system would allow was a 130pm departure and when I do a fake reservation on Air2Sea the earliest departure time it shows is 2:13pm. I know we'll be back in Seattle in plenty of time on Monday since we're in Victoria the night before and when I did this cruise 12 years ago we just circle the bay for hours until we went into port in the morning.

Tried to book a shuttle from RC post cruise but since they said my 12:10pm flight was too early. Any reason that time should be an issue for a ride share as long as can get off the ship before 9am on a Monday?

Waiting on this to get taken care of and my god I'm sick of these ads already. Yes I know of the Quantum Ultra Class and the world cruise....

Good to hear. I mean not good to hear...but ya know. Glad it's not just me. They better not wipe out my $345 OBC that I just got on Friday.

I get to call this morning as I got an email saying I owe $250 even though I paid it off over a month ago and the final payment was due April 21st. So annoying that I have to do this right now. Like I have nothing else to do.
